CALDWELL, Ohio, September TO-
The opening of the campaign by the
Republicans to-day brought out a
great throng of people. Governor
Foraker delivered a long address,
which was to a considerable extent an
answer to the speech of his compet-
itor, Powell. He refuted the state
ments OF the latter regarding the
handling of the State finances. He
referred in caustic terms to the elec-
ton frauds during the previous admin
istration and the election of Senator
Payne as showing the tendency OF
that administration to methods that
were hurtful to the State. During his
administration some of the perpe-
traitors of those frauds had been pun
ished and election laws passed which
would render their repetition well
nigh impossible.
NATIONAL fOlIlllIS.
Turning to national politics and re-
ferring to Powell's suggestion that a
Republican State Executive Commit
tee is to be organized with the purpose of
wrecking Senator Sherman's Presi-
Dental train, he said that Mr.. Powell
might dismiss all such fear, and
added: "John Sherman has no such
train-wreckers to avoid, as Allen q.
Thurman can give account"
THE CLEVELAND ADMINISTRATION.
He devoted considerable space to
President Cleveland, but denied hav-
ing made any personal attack upon
him. Cleveland's attitude toward the
civil service reform had brought upon
it an odium that has set it back for
years in public appreciation, to
the great detriment OF the whole
country. There was still Il greater
disappointment in the revival by
President Cleveland OF the animosi-
ties of war which l&ad almost died

SIMPLY a SLIP.
The Presidents Name Omitted in
aGrand Army order.


PHILADELPHIA September 10.-Com
mander Harper, of the Department o
Pennsylvania, Grand Army OF the Re
public, has just issued an order fol
the Grand Army demonstration in
the military parade next Friday. II
reads as follows:
elm passing the reviewing stand Oh
when being reviewed by Lieutenant
General Philip II. Sheridan, of the
United States Army, none but post
commanders will salute"
WAS TIE PRESIDENT sHGHTED.
1t is claimed by some veterans, not
Grand Army men, that the name OF
President Cleveland should have been
inserted in that paragraph OF the
order, and that there was direct
slight to the Chief Magistrate in not
doing so. Grand Army men, how
ever, are all of the opinion that the
omission was an oversight. and that
no slight was intended.
A SUPPLEMENTARY ORDER.
Referring to the Grand Army parade
on Friday next, Colonel Stewart says
that the order of Department Com
mander Harper was not intended to
slight the President, and in order that
there can be no misunderstanding the
following supplementary order has
been issued, including the President
in the salute: Post colors will be
dipped as the parade is reviewed by
President Cleveland, and General
Sheridan will be in command of the

RAILROAD CONSOLIDATION.
An Important Change to be Made
in Eastern Travel.

BosToN, September 10. To-day's
1dreriser gives more particulars of the
gigantic scheme of railway consolda-
ton which was outlined yesterday.
The statement is made that the mana
gers of the Boston and Albany, New
York, New Haven and Hartford, and
the New York and NewEngland rail-
roads have agreed upon a consolida-
ton of those great properties. The
ownership of the Albany and New
Haven reads is in a great part identi-
cal and together the two control the
majority 81 the New York and New
England stock.
TRACK CHANGES.
The New Haven company is now
four-tracking its road from New York
to New Haven, and it is said that the
Boston and Albany will extend its
four-track line from Boston to Worces-
ter and at the same time shorten its
distance to Springfield 111a miles.
The New Haven road has already
shortened its time thirty minutes by
Strengthening curves, etc.
QUICK COMMUNICATIONS.
These changes will reduce the run
ming time between New York and
Boston to AZ hours. The distance
from city to city will be a little over
200 miles and there will not be a
grade, crossing or wooden bridge on
the entire line. New and powerful
rolling stock is already being built
and the roadbed and masonry are to
be as perfect as any in England.
USED AS A FEEDER.
The New York and New England
will doubtless be divided up and
used as a local road, its splendid
ocean terminal in Boston being used
by the Boston & Albany for its foreign
| freight business.

Associated Press Dispatches to the Herald.
Tucson, September 10.-The flood
on Thursday night was the most ter
rife ever known in this section. Five
miles of track, including bridges in
the cienega, were swept away so clean
that not a trace OF the railroad is left.
Steel rails were carried out forty feet
above the track bed, and in one place
several rails are standing on end
against the banks of canon. Heavy
bridge timbers have been torn to
splinters and ties and timbers carried
from the cienega into Rillito and past
Fort Lowell. The debris is carrying
everything away in the Rillito valley.
The flood rose up into the government
corrals at Lowell, and the Rillito has
been running two miles wide for
twenty hours, the highest ever known.
The telegraph line is down between
Papago and Pantano, and Eastern
messages are sent around by Mojave
and Albuuuerque. 1t is believed that
the passengers can be transferred to-
morrow. Provided that there is no
more rain, freight cannot pass for
several days. 1t will require two
months to replace the track and
bridges.
TRAINS STOPPED.
The eastern bound express due last
night was delayed at Yuma on ac-
count of the washout at Mohawk.
There will be no train west before to-
morrow night and both east and west
bound passengers are tied up here.
The east bound will return to Los An
geles tomorrow and 60 by the A Il 2
Il. X. The New Mexico and Arizona
railroad running from Benson to So
dora is reported to be washed out for
several miles up the San Peiro and in
Sonora. The Santa Cruz is running
high and it is raining. The storm eX-
tended into Sonora flooding tn coun-
try for more than $50 miles south of
Tucson.
OFFICIAL ADVICES.
SAN Francisco, September TO-
The Southern Pacific railway is in re-
ceipt of advices from Arizona showing
that fully twenty miles of the track
between Tucson and Benson has
been swept away bv flood. The full
extent OF the disaster was not known
this afternoon but it is believed to be
the most serious of the kind in many
years. Traffic over the Southern route
will be suspended for at least two
weeks.

WASHINGTON, September I0.-No in
formation has been received here
touching the reported escape of the
British sealer Alfred Adams, after it's
seizure by the revenue cutter, Rush.
FERGUsoN's STATEMENT CHALLENGED.
Inquiry among the officials OF the ex

existence of any order to discontinue
the further seizures of British sealers
and the release of those now captured
which was referred to yesterday in
the British House of Commons. If
such instructions have been issued,
they must have emanated from the
